Cambodia Pre-Cruise

Travel back in time to Siem Reap and the Angkor Wat Temples. This UNESCO World Heritage Site was at one time the largest pre-industrialized city in the world, and is considered by many to be one of the ancient wonders of the world. It is truly monumental and an awe-inspiring sight. From a distance, you see the massive structures, with assorted spires rising up to the sky. Once closer, you enter a different world entirely. These stone structures are intricately carved with thousands of relief sculptures, each representing different deities, goddesses and religious themes. For as far as the eye can see, every inch of these ancient buildings are artistically carved. In addition, we’ll take you to an artisans market, a local dance performance and cultural evening and a local market. Visiting Angkor Wat a must-see for any visit to Cambodia. As one of the most famous civilizations and incredible sights in the world, we know you won’t want to miss it!
